Will The Hulk Be Coming Back for CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR?
Even though Captain America: Civil War is a Captain America movie, the film has a line-up of superhero characters as big as what you would find in an Avengers film. The main cast has already been announced, and one character that a lot of fans were hoping for wasn't on the list — Mark Rufallo's Bruce Banner/Hulk. But maybe that has changed!
A recent tweet from Ruffalo suggests the Hulk may actually be joining his fellow heroes for Captain America: Civil War! The actor dropped the following hint on Twitter yesterday:
The Marvel family gets just a little bit bigger. http://t.co/0PnXdLhGTP @captainamerica #CivilWar
— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) May 14, 2015The link in the tweet brings you to Ruffalo’s Tumblr, which then takes you to Marvel's official press release about the start of production on Captain America: Civil War. Ruffalo says this on his Tumblr page:
Welcome to the wild party! Looking forward to this amazing cast.
The actor never says that he's in Captain America: Civil War, but it certainly seems like he wants to say it. I'm not sure if he's just teasing the fans, or simply welcoming the new recruits to the Marvel cinematic universe as a whole. One thing is for sure, the way he worded things could easily be interpreted as him saying that he'll be in the movie, and I hope he is! If he is, I would love to see him get some screen time with Spider-Man!
It's already be revealed that William Hurt will return as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the movie. He and the Hulk have a history together, so it's not too far-fetched to think that Banner could be involved with the story as well.
The fate of the Hulk was left open-ended at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, so he could pop up anywhere at any time that Marvel needs him to. There's no confirmation yet that Hulk will be involved, but it would be great if he were, even for a small role.
As of right now the rest of the confirmed cast includes Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America; Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man; Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow; Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon; Paul Bettany as The Vision; Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier; Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye; Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes/War Machine; Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch; Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man; Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther; Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter/Agent 13; Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo; Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow/Crossbones; and Martin Freeman, who is rumored to be playing Everett Ross, a possible new addition to the MCU.
Here's the synopsis for the film:
“Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
The movie opens up on May 6th, 2016. Do you think the Hulk will be and should be in Civil War?
